This makes a lot of sauce, probably 5 pizzas worth.
- 6 Red bell peppers
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 T Red wine vinegar
- 4 T butter
- 1/2 C Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 C honey
- 1 T basil
- 2 t black pepper
- 1.5 T oregano
- 2 t crushed red pepper
- Set 2 cloves of garlic aside
- Roast the rest of the garlic
- Cut the top off the garlic
- Pour 1/2 olive oil over the exposed tops
- wrap in tin foil and place top side down in the oven
- cook at 350F for one hour
- While the garlic is roasting, roast the red peppers
- Over a stove, roast the red peppers one at a time directly over the flame. A pepper is done when the entire outside is charred black
- As each pepper is done being roasted/charred, place it in an air tight container for a few minutes
- After all the peppers have been roasted, let them sit in the air tight container for at least 10 minutes
- Cut the top off each pepper and pull out the seeds and stem
- The peppers will now easily pull into thirds and the charred skin can be peeled off
- When you are done you will have a pile of de-skinned, roasted peppers
- Combine roast pepper, roast garlic and 2 cloves raw garlic in blender, add 3/4 C water
- Thicken over a stove on medium heat
- While the sauce is being reduced add seasoning until the desired flavor is achieved. A good pizza sauce should be quite intense on it's own, don't go to light on the seasoning.
